The Panasonic S5 product images leak ahead of this week’s official announcement

by 2 Comments

Well, it wasn’t much of a surprise, really, was it? Images always seem to leak a couple of days ahead of official announcements these days. This time, it’s the Panasonic S5’s turn. The complete specs for the new camera were leaked a couple of weeks ago, and Panasonic teased us with an S5 trailer in the last few days, stating that it’s aimed at content creators.

Now we know what the whole thing looks like, and it looks like they might’ve gotten it right. At least, it has a flippy out LCD and not the tilting LCD of its S1 cousins. But I don’t think they’re really aiming it at the entry-level with this one.

The Panasonic S5 will cost around $2,000 – full press text leaked

by 3 Comments

Well, I think this quashes any idea that Panasonic was looking to compete with the Canon EOS RP, Nikon Z5 and whatever Sony has up their sleeve. Nokishita is reporting that the price for the upcoming Panasonic S5 will be $1,997.99 (or $2,297.99 for the S5 kit that includes a lens – although they haven’t stated which lens).

They’ve also leaked the press text for the announcement, which states that the Panasonic S5 has been “designed especially for content creators”. Let’s hope that means it has the flippy out LCD of Panasonic’s Micro Four Thirds cameras, and not the tilting LCD of the other full-frame L mount bodies.

Panasonic S5 coming in September – Here are the leaked specs and it’s a bit of a video beast

by 4 Comments

A number of websites are now reporting that we can expect an announcement for Panasonic’s new entry-level full-frame S5 mirrorless camera as soon as next week. Not only that, but the complete specs for the Panasonic S5 have already leaked, courtesy of Nokishita and it looks pretty decent.

According to the leaked specs, the Panasonic S5 will house a 24.2-megapixel sensor, offer 14+ stops of dynamic range with Face, Eye, Body and Animal autofocus tracking, exposure and focus bracketing, and shoot full resolution raws at up to 7 frames per second. But where it really shines are its video capabilities – which are pretty awesome for an entry-level camera.

Panasonic S5 entry-level full-frame L mount camera registered at retailers

by Leave a Comment

It seems that the fives are all around lately. Nikon just announced the Z5, there are rumours that Sony is getting ready to announce an A5 (or A6) and now, according to Nokishita, it seems that Panasonic is preparing to launch the S5 – an entry-level full-frame L mount mirrorless camera to compete with the likes of the Nikon Z5 and Canon EOS RP.

They say that the Lumix S5 body along with a kit containing the S5 and a 20-60mm kit lens have been registered at “overseas retailers”. Obviously, “overseas” just means “not China”, but they don’t say exactly where in the world they’ve been registered.

Panasonic’s new $799 G100 vlogging camera will also shoot vertical video for Instagram

by 2 Comments

Well, Panasonic has a new announcement page ready for debuting what is expected to be the Panasonic G100 – a camera aimed squarely at vloggers. Whether or not the announcement page will have a live stream or simply a promotional video to coincide with the official announcement is currently unknown, but I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

What is quite interesting, though, is that 43Rumors is reporting that the Panasonic G100 will actually let you shoot vertical videos for things like Instagram Stories and TikTok. Yes, I know you can hold any camera at 90 degrees and shoot video, but this one actually rotates the orientation of the footage so that it’s actually vertical in the file.

Panasonic S1H becomes the first Netflix-approved mirrorless camera

by 1 Comment

The Panasonic S1H is a full-frame mirrorless camera aimed primarily at movie shooters. Thanks to its stellar video features, it has made it into the “big league.” It’s the first mirrorless camera to be certified by Netflix. In other words, it’s the only mirrorless camera Netflix allows to be used as a primary camera on productions. And since it’s on the same list with high-end movie cameras, it’s also the cheapest among them.

Panasonic is expected to announce a new full frame Lumix camera tomorrow. The name “S1S” had been thrown around, but it seems that it’ll actually be called the S1H, according to an early leak of the announcement and photos from French website Magazine Video.
